saturday...2nd time in kozelets

todays bus rides to kozelets went much more smoothly than tuesdays. very thankful for that! i woke up at seven am without an alarm...partially because there are lots birds near my house that start chirping then. but i also tink i have developed a schedule...although i do not always have to be up at seven which is not good for the days i would like to sleep in!

my cluster was sweet enough to give me the only free seat left on the bus this morning. they all had to stand for the twenty to thirtyminute ride. i was actually riding backwards but just kept my eyes shut the whole time and was fine. still raining and nasty weather here. it is super cold today...wore a turtlneck and my inner and outer north face jackets. and a scarf. and i was still cold during ourwalks outside.

we had a technical cross cultural meeting today at the teachers house in kozelets with our link cluster. their teacher actually lives with a host family.

it went well...discussed networking in your city and ways to network in ukraine vs. in the united states.

this week is another full week of stuff to do. mnday we will finally get to observe at the gymnasia and wednesday we will be teaching in the seventh and eleventh forms. we will teach in the healthy lifestyles class...whatever subect we want. that will be decided tomorrow between brendan jamie and myself. the three of us are the three at the gymnasia...while mark and cassi are at the schola.

im quite tired right now...think i may lay down for a little rest and relaxation before dinner. happy saturday :)
